Dictée Communicative: L'Uniforme Scolaire

Florence Lyons (Matamata College) is inspired by Ruth Bourchier's presentation: "At Fransème 2009, Ruth showed us how an oldie can become a fantastic activity. Her workshop was about how you can make a Dictée become a communicative activity by simply guiding the students through some vocabulary to speak about their work. After having done the dictation itself you present the students with a sheet full of sentences they can use to speak about their work and their peer’s work. Before marking the work, each student compares his work with his partner and then they both compare their work with 2 other partners. It is using one task to make students speak in French in class".

Florence created the following dictation on a PPT presentation and tried it on with her students. Although it was very challenging, they loved it and it increased their vocabulary in French. She has since heard students using sentences from the “dictation sheet” in class!
